How much premium do I have to pay?

The premium you have to pay may vary depending on the sum insured and cubic capacity of your vehicle, no-claim discount ( NCD) entitlement, optional benefits added, and ACPG Insurer’s underwriting requirements.

What are the major exclusions under this policy?

This policy does not cover certain losses such as,:

Your own death or bodily injury due to a motor accident

Your liability against claims from passengers in your vehicle

Loss, damage or liability arising from an act of nature i.e. flood, storm, or landslide and others.

If you have read the terms and conditions for all three policies carefully, provided that you actually understood everything, you will realise that some incidents are not covered, even though they occur fairly frequently, for example – you would expect your car insurance to cover your death in the event of a serious accident…but does it really?

To be clear, that’s what a motor personal accident insurance is for, something you should also sign-up for when taking up a car insurance plan.

1. Your own death or bodily injury because of a motor accident

You would expect that your own death or at least physical injury to be coverage for a modest amount of money; well, stranger things have happened. Your personal accident insurance or medical insurance might have you covered, but not a car insurance plan. Nope, not even the comprehensive cover – that means no hospitalisation allowance or coverage for funeral expenses.

2. Your liability against claims from your passengers

A passenger who gets hurt because of a car accident will usually have an easier case compared to the person behind the wheel – if the accident involves two vehicles, one of the drivers will most likely be found negligent and liable for the physical injury to the passenger.

However, you will be able to pay additional premium on your motor insurance to include Passenger Liability Extension Cover, in the event that your passengers choose to sue you.

Pimping out your brand new Honda City with custom spinning rims, genuine leather seats, and an expensive (but totally unnecessary) sound system might earn you brownie points with your friends and colleagues, but you may also be drawing a lot of unwanted attention from less agreeable people i.e. car thieves. Make sure in addition to your lavish upgrades, you install additional car security features, such as a powerful GPS tracking system!

Like everything else – cars aren’t built to last. As vehicle parts wear out with time (excluding parts made out of glass e.g. windshield), the value of your car depreciates along with them – and honestly, a car’s value drops the moment it leaves the showroom.

You’ll probably lose up to 40% of its initial value 5 years down the road – literally! If you’re planning to insure a car that is pushing 15 years of age, good luck finding an insurer that’ll take you on.

These unfortunate events, along with earthquakes and hurricanes are commonly referred to as natural disasters or acts of God, and are not covered in standard car insurance policies. On the other hand, you may pay higher premiums to extend your policy to cover flood, landslide, landslip including adequate cover for your passengers.

As you’ve read, insurance companies will allow you to add-on optional benefits to your car insurance policy to be insured for all five exclusions that we’ve mentioned above, including coverage for windscreen repairs and replacement – but of course, you will have to pay a higher premium. So you’d now probably want to know what goes into calculating your premiums?

Your Motor Premium Calculation

Motor insurance premium is calculated according to the Motor tariff set out by Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia ( PIAM). All insurance companies are required to use the same pricing schedule.

This prices are determined by a few factors such as coverage type, use of vehicle, car engine size i.e. cubic capacity, age of vehicle, maximum sum insured, extended coverage and number of registered drivers.

However, this is all set to change in 2016, when the current tiered system will be replaced with a new risk based price structure, an effort by Bank Negara Malaysia to deregulate the car insurance industry.

Avoid Under-Insurance

Lastly, it is very important that you insure your vehicle appropriately according to its current value, whether its at the purchase price for a new car, or the current market value for one that is used.

This is to avoid under-insurance that will result in only partial compensations on claims, or worse still over-insurance, where you simply waste money to insure a car above its market value, when the maximum you can claim is at the market value – so why would you want to do that?
